AN AGED LADY FROZEN TO DEATH.
Mrs. Mary Bosley Dies from Cold While Try
ing to Walk to Her Home Near Mapieton.

Mrs. Mary NJ. Bosley, sixty-fve years of age.
the wife of Jacob Bosley, well-to-do pioneer
citizen, living near Mapleton, was found Just be-
yond Crown Hill Cemetery, yesterday morning,
frozen to death. On Wednesday morning. Mr..
and Mrs. Bosley left their home at Mapleton to
visit their son-in-law, John Harris, travelling
man, who resides on Illinois street, near Crown
HILL Late in the evening. when the aged couple
were ready to go home, Mr.. Bosley, who is quite
feeble. concluded to remain a few days at his
son-in-lawiS home. An effort was also made to
induce Mrs. Bosley to remain over night as the
weather was stormy, but she preferred to go
home, and started on foot the manner in which
they had come in the morning. The distance to
Mapeton is only a mile from Mr.. Harts's resi-
dence, and as she had ample time to walk it be-
fore dark nothing was thought of her going
away alone She did not reach home, but the
domestics in the family presumed that both the
old people had concluded to spend few days at
their son-in-laws, as they frequently did, and
were not uneasy During Thursday there Was
no communication between the home of the SON
in-law and that of the old folks, and the occu-
pants of both houses supposed that Mrs. Bosley
was all right.
George W. Blue lives on a small farm adjoin-
ing the property of Mr.. Harris. and keeps some
cattle. Yesterday morning he had occasion to
cross his farm in looking after his stock, and
he discovered Mrs Bosley. she lying in corner
of the fence dead. Her shawl was drawn up
around her head, and one hand was clasped over
her mouth There every evidence that she
had come to her death by freezing. and that
she had been dead a day more. After she
had been found some colored men residing in
the neighborhood of Crown Hill stated that
after dark Wednesday evening they met her
this side of the cemetery, coming toward the
city. The supposition is that the lady lost her
way, and was unable to find it again. and finally
wandered to the woods. where she sat down
from exhaustion, and was soon overcome by
the cold
The remains were taken in charge by under
taker Kregelo and Coroner Wagner held his
inquest last evening. He examined several
witnesses. and his verdict was that death was
caused by freezing.

THE ELECTION CONSPIRACY CASES.
Mr.. Sellers Says Coy, Bernhamer, Span and
Mattler Will Be Tried First.

District Attorney Sellers who returned to the
city yesterday, says that the recent statements
in regard to the conspiracy cases have no truth
in them, but the defendants with whom Mr. Coy
no doubt conversed after his return from Wash
ington think otherwise or they have been doing
an enormous amount of lying Mr.. Sellers says
that he accidentally met Coy at the capital, but
he did not know what business had brought him
there. He himself went to settle his accounts
with the Department of Justice, and while there
the election cases were not even mentioned. He
saws further that instructions have been
given him from Washington in regard to them
since October. Coy did not come to him to urge
that the cases be dropped nor has any Demo
cratic politician had conference with him
speeding them. THE fact is said Mr.. Sellers
''since the cases We're commenced have tried
in every way possible to avoid any consideration
of political consequences. ] do not want poll
tics to have anything to do with them. Any
sworn officer to enforce the laws against any
and all offenders, no matter with what they may
be charged. There IS Just one course for to
pursue. and that is to do my duty and make out
as successful case IS | can. 1 ann trying to do
what my Judgment a lawyer tells me is best
TO do, and what the requirements of the position
of district attorney imperatively demand"
In regard to the defendants who have not been
rearrested under the corrected indictment, Mr..
Sellers SAYS that probably nothing VIII be done
until the other four-Coy. Bernhamer. Spaam
and Mattler-are tried. Their viii be
this arrangement is the result of consultations
with Washington authorities and Democratic
politicians, the fact remains that some of the
arrested defendants do not ike it, as 1t is

application to the Dominion Government
for homestead lands in the vicinity of

view of forming settlement of the faith

as to whether they will agree to the immi-

Referring to the matter, the News says:
"The experience Of the American govern

ought to make our government extremely
cautious about insisting on the observance
of our laws at the outset AZ the only condi-
ton on which their presence will be toer-

WHITE AGAINST BLACK.
The Races Come in Deadly Conflict
After q Ball.


GALVESTON, TEX, Aug. 5--A special
from Nacogdoches says: Last night at the
close of concert in the suburbs of town
deadly encounter occurred between seven or
eight white boys on one side and ten or
fifteen negroes on the other The negroes
provoked the fight by halting the whites
and drawing their pistols. Forty or
fifty shots were exchanged at very
close range, from ten to twenty
feet. When the smoke of the
battle cleared away one negro, jeff Sim
mons, was found dead with bullet through
his heart. His pistol was still in his hand
A little further on another negro, Porter
Anderson was found with a mortal wound.
About quarter of mile off still another
negro, Tom Thorne, was found with large
bullet in his shoulder. He will recover.
A negro named Levi Allison received sew
eral Slight wounds Giles Holton was the
only one of the whites injured. He re-
ceived a slight wound in the hip and a
severe and dangerous one in the leg below
the knee, frhcturing the large bone. The
trouble between the whites and negroes has
been brewing for some time, and it is feared
it is not yet over. The fight was one OF the
hottest while it lasted that has occurred
here in years"

STANLEY'S JOURNEY.
lie Reaches the Highest Point He Went
to Four Years Ago

LONDON, Aug. 6, "a M-Further advices
from Henry NJ. Stanley say that on June
the expedition reached a point half way be-
tween Gambia and Yambunga, the latter
being the farthest point on the Arnwhimi
reached by Stanley in 1888 Navigation
was difficult and slow, because the boats
were carrying all the necessary sup
plies for Emin Bey in addition to
the supplies of the expedition
Stanley chose the Arnwhimi route in pre-
ference to the Stanley Falls route because
he learned that by the former he would
have better resources, and because the
natives were friendier. He hoped that
his steamers would be able to ascend
the rapids above Yambunga, beyond which
the river is easily navigable. Stanley ex-
pected to reach Madelai about the beginning
OF August. From advices received Thurs
day it would appear that Stanley had been
obliged to await the arrival of the contin-
gents left at Bolobo and Leopoldville, and
had adopted an overland route which would
occupy a fortnight longer.

PROHIBITIONS DEFEAT.
The Majority Against the Texas
Amendment Very Large.

The Majority Against the Texas
Amendment Very Large.
GALVESTON, TEX, Aug. 5.-The latest
returns received here from over 500 voting
precincts clearly indicate that the prohiDi-
ton amendment has been defeated by a
majority ranging from $4,000 to 10000.
Enthusiastic nti-Prohibitionists claim
that this will be increased to 5000.
All the other amendments have undoubt-
edly been carried except the one extending
the time of the sitting of the Legislature
from sixty to ninety days, and making the
period instead of for sixty days, as is now
the law.
WHAT THE RESULT SIGNIFIES.
The defeat of prohibition has been sig
nal and decisive one, but it cannot be
claimed as a Democratic victory. The total
vote polled in Texas at the Gubernatorial
election last November was $4,000, of
which 230, 600 We're Democratic, $1,000 Re-
publican and 10000 Prohibitionists. This,
however, does not represent the full voting
strength Of Texas as clearly as does the
Presidential Xcte in 1884, which was in
round numbeiS: Democratic 225, 900, Re-
publican 81, 900, Prohibition 10000. In yes
terday's election Democrats and Republi-
mon element, which is usually
Republican, went almost solidly
against prohibition, as did at least
wo-thirdS of the colored vote. Thus great
majority of the Republicans, under the
leadership of DR.. Cochran, the Republican
nominee for Governor in 1886. and other
leaders of that faction, voted against the
amendment, while respectable minority of
the Democrats followed the suit of the lead
ers of their party ,as Senator Reagan, ex-Sen-
ator MaXey, Congressman Culberson, Hare
and Ransom and others into the Prohibition
fold. Taking the vote of 1884 as basis, the
Prohibitionists, TO have achieved victory,
would have had to secure so per cent. of the
Democrats and 50 per cent of the
Republicans The returns SO far
received show a majority against
Prhobition of 10000 with eighty counties
to hear from. Hon. George Clark, Chair
man of the anti-Prohibition State Execu-
tive Committee, estimates that when conf
plete returns are in they viii show that the
amendment has been defeated by 100000
majority.
